Five Ways to Wear Denim Joggers
These denim joggers may be one of my favorite pairs of pants to come out of my current work from home situation. Honestly, I probably never would have tried them otherwise. While working from home, I still try to get dressed most days. I think it helps with my productivity mindset a little. I absolutely have days where I stay in loungewear all day because I also love being comfy cozy while at home.
The thing that intrigued me about these jean joggers was that they may fit both of my needs of feeling dressed for the day but also still comfy. After testing them out for a few weeks, I really think these might be the perfect work from home pants. They have a loose and comfy fit, but they are not super baggy. I like that I can push them up to create a cropped look or leave them full length if I’m a little cold. I’ve mostly them cropped because that was my favorite look plus it’s still a bit warm. These stay up cropped perfectly. The sides have a zipper that you can unzip slightly to fit around your calf muscle.
FIVE WAYS TO WEAR DENIM JOGGERS
FOR FALL
WITH A SWEATER
When I put this outfit together, it totally gave me Carrie Bradsaw vibes. I always loved that her outfits featured items that you wouldn’t think to put together but totally worked and looked fabulous. A sweater was not something I originally thought about when I tried on these denim joggers. They have a loose and baggier fit which instantly makes me think of all the fitted top pairings. But that is why the shoes of this outfit are oh so important. I tried on a few different pairs, but this peeptoe dress booties completed this look. It gives it that little bit casual, little bit trendy, and little bit dressy that I love.

WITH A PLAID TOP
A plaid top is the perfect casual pairing with my jean joggers. Since the top has a looser fit instead of tucking it in, I opted to tie at the waist. By doing this it helps bring in the waist line a bit and balance the two looser proportions on top and bottom.

DATE NIGHT OUTFIT
Now we move into the more fitted top options. A bodysuit is a perfect pairing with denim joggers. I went with this pink drapey one and tossed on my floral heels to show that you can totally dress up these comfy jeans for a night out on the town!

WITH A TANK TOP & WEDGES
Another summer or spring option would be a fitted tank top. I styled two outfit options for this one. First up with a scoop neck tank top and espadrille wedges for a fun daytime look, perfect for brunch or an afternoon with friends.

WITH A TANK TOP & FLATS
Another outfit option is to pair with a higher neck tank top and flats. I wore this one evening when we had a couple over for dinner. Of the two tanks, this high neck one is my favorite with this denim joggers. I think the two styles compliment each other well. For shoes, I opted for a neutral flat to help with my petite height illusion.

Four Ways to Wear a Floral Print Sundress
Oh my goodness, I can not believe it is already the last day of September. This definitely was a blink and it’s over kinda month! We had our first cold front blow in this week, and I had a chance to pull out some of my lightweight sweaters. I get cold easily, so for me sweater weather sometimes begins in the low 70s. I’m definitely excited for the cooler temps, so we can start spending more time outdoors on walks and on our patio.
I quite enjoyed my sundresses this summer. They were light and breezy and great for at home days. I wanted to share a few ways to keep the sundress love going into fall with a few ways to restyle your dresses into fun new outfits.
Four Ways to Wear a Floral Print Sundress
FOR SPRING & SUMMER
Let’s start with the original look of my sundress for the Spring and Summer warm weather days. Since this dress a midi length, I opted to wear it with a wedge for a little added height. The neutral color choice of my shoe is also a petite friendly trick for adding the illusion of a longer leg. Great for using with longer dresses.

FOR FALL
The easiest way to transition any dress into fall, add on a denim jacket. This tip is great for fall, but also works in Spring when you might still need a layer. A bootie is the shoe for fall and can instantly transform a dress into the fall season. These booties have a lower profile, so it works well with the longer length of the dress. Again, I chose a neutral color to create that height illusion.

CASUAL DAYTIME OUTFIT
For a casual daytime look, I layered my dress over a white t-shirt and added a casual pair of white sneakers. Adding a t-shirt under a sundress is also a quick and easy way to make it bra friendly. Tossing on a comfy pair of sneakers make this outfit perfect for a day on your feet running errands. You could also toss a denim jacket over this outfit for cooler weather.

FALL WORK OUTFIT
A long olive cardigan is the perfect way to make this sundress office friendly. It covers both your shoulders and the open back. You could go with a few different shoe options here like tan heels or loafers. I really liked how my white slides helped the white in the print pop, so I chose them for my work outfit styling.

BUSINESS CASUAL OUTFIT
Dark wash flared jeans are my go to for a nice business casual outfit. It helps give a professional office look while still wearing comfy jeans. To keep the look polished, I tucked in the shirt and added a brown belt. This shade of brown works well the dark pink of the top and dark blue of the jeans. I also added in my tan suede heels to match my belt. The dark pink and white colors in the top contrast perfectly with the dark blue of these jeans to really help the print pop.

CASUAL SPRING DAYTIME OUTFIT
For an easy spring outfit, pair this top with a light wash pair of jeans. I pushed the sleeves up to 3/4 length to slightly change the look of the top and make it more warm and sunny weather friendly. A quick sleeve push up is an easy way to change up the look of a long sleeve top. You could go with a few different shoe options like light tan booties or a classic wedge. I opted for these white slides. I think they are a great way to add a little chicness to any outfit and still be super comfy.

** GREAT FOR THANKSGIVING!**
Is it too soon to be thinking about Thanksgiving outfits? This olive green and pink color combo would be so perfect to wear to family dinner. To keep with the fall earth tone feel of the top color combo, I paired this with my black skinny jeans and brown tall boots. Black jeans and brown boots are one of my favorite combos for the fall season. It works with a variety of colors, especially earth tones. To lighten the look up a bit, you could also go with dark blue jeans and a lighter tan slouchy boot.

Five Ways to Wear an Orange Top for Different Seasons
Sometimes I go on a little bit of a color crush binge, and I don’t realize it until I see the new items hanging together in my closet. Lately it’s been the color orange. From the burnt orange dress shared a week ago to this floral print top from summer to today’s short sleeve top, and one more orange item coming next week!
For today’s post, I wanted to share how to wear the color orange year round by showcasing it with a few different jean colors that will work in all the different seasons.
Five Ways to Wear an Orange Top for Different Seasons
FOR SPRING, SUMMER, AND FALL
This first outfit will work well for spring, summer and fall. A classic faded blue color works well with the earthtone orange. To keep the look casual, I paired it with a nude colored loafer flat. This light tan color also works well with the orange shade since they both have a hint of warmth to them.

FOR SPRING AND SUMMER
For spring and summer, a light wash blue jean or white jean will work well to help make the orange really pop. With the lighter blue jean, I paired this outfit with my white slides which provides just the right amount of contrast to the light blue. For a white jean, I would opt for a light brown sandal.

FOR SUMMER
Orange is such a fun color to wear in the summer months! A faded black bottom really plays up the earthtone orange color of this top. To add a little bit of a boho vibe to this outfit, I paired it with my light tan booties. The light color also helps to add the illusion of a longer leg which I love as a petite styling tip. You could also go with flat sandals or a fun wedge to change up the look a little.

FOR EARLY FALL
In Texas, I feel like we have two falls – the early warm one and the late one with cooler jacket required temps. For the warmer early fall time of year, dark wash jean is a great option to bring orange into the fall season. To play on the warmth in the top, I paired my darker congac brown mules with this outfit. I cuffed my jeans a little higher than normal to make them just slightly above the ankle which can help make me look a little taller.

FOR LATE FALL
When the cooler temps take over, a pair of black skinny jeans and dark brown over the knee boots will make this top perfect for late fall. I opted for brown over a black boot to keep the look from having too much of a Halloween feel. I chose a black denim, so I could easily toss on a blue denim jacket for a colder day and have a good contrast in my denim colors.
